Not Kitchen renovation, only kitchen flooring...BWM<br /><br />Not Kitchen renovation, only kitchen flooring. It was fun actually, with a day and half well spent at the friend's :)<br />The contractors here are much nicer, do very neat, on time work with part clean up so not a big hassle. The husband did the rest of the cleaning and I did not have to do anything at all.<br /><br />I usually make the Garam Masala, no cleaning-drying involved and takes just a few mins. After I discovered the Biryani masala, I do that too, it really is great with chicken/mutton, pulao etc.<br /><br />The Jeera and Dhania is pretty doable too but that I sometimes lapse :)<br /><br />If I had to clean, wash, dry forget it nothing would be ever done :D<br /><br /><br />Indo<br /><br />Try this Biryani Masala, if you want follow Shaheen's orig. recipe which calls for star anise and more shajeera. It definitely kicks up biryani flavor by a notch<br /><br />Soma<br /><br />Yeah that Sindhi biryani masala was a staple at my home too as was achari and tikka and what not :) The tikka/tandoori is great for grilling though and maybe I will buy one for all the grill sessions<br /><br />Everyone<br /><br />No climbing and I am not that tall either :)Bong Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-57266226086707148552009-05-12T08:30:00.000-04:002009-05-12T08:30:00.000-04:00loved the first click with tej patta,..thnks for s...loved the first click with tej patta,..thnks for shrin awesome masala recipes,..notyet100https://www.blogger.com/profile/12079779480407514805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-6405608863978285442009-05-12T01:25:00.000-04:002009-05-12T01:25:00.000-04:00Hi Sandeepa,
Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Da...Hi Sandeepa,<br /><br />Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. Kudos for being so brave to go in for renovation in kitchen with work, kids, cooking and blogging, tagged with the apron string.<br /><br />Does this Masala venture carry on through the year or just a drive to get out of packed powdered spices? I do not know but other than bhaja masala, posto or shorshe, I have never taken up the spices project. <br /><br />In India, the raw spices need to be washed and scrubbed clean, dried(well????) and then ground. I am not too confident of the drying bit, b'coz in case moisture remains, the whole masala will rot.<br /><br />However, I still relish the taste of 'bata mashla' in my Mom's kitchen. The taste is awsome, no ground masala can even compete with the same. Hope someday I get a comparable alternativeBongHomeChefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709497824813140021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-75138315881492437122009-05-11T15:56:00.000-04:002009-05-11T15:56:00.000-04:00i've cleared out the store-bought crap too. i'll t...i've cleared out the store-bought crap too. i'll try your version of garam masala the next time i make it. we get amchoor pieces here, which tastes way better when powdered fresh than the pre-powdered version.beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128812845273224940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-42547438577955715522009-05-11T10:12:00.000-04:002009-05-11T10:12:00.000-04:00LOVE that angle in the first picture, San!
